Now that I've made all of the formal introductions, let's get onto the projects!

For my first project I thought I would try combining the Enclosed: Heart with a Cover Plate die. I selected the Garden Gild plate and it ended up being a beautiful combination!

It was easy to create since there is a plain heart die included with the Enclosed: Heart die set. After I cut the Garden Gild plate from white, I just selected the area I wanted to appear inside the heart and ran it through with the heart die. Then it was just a matter of coloring it and adhering it behind the separate Love frame included.

I layered the frame four times to help create some texture and dimension. I really love this look and want to try out the concept with other Enclosed sets and additional Cover Plate designs!

The thin sentiment strip was created with the previously released Keep It Simple: Wedding set.

Next I have another Enclosed: Heart project, this time using the plain heart and some of the gorgeous coordinating stamps.

I cut the heart from white cardstock and then stamped the large polka-dotted "Love" using Lovely Lady ink. I was then able to add some of the cute little floral arrangements that Dawn included in the set.

This Aqua Mist Chicken Scratch gingham made the perfect background!

For my next project I used Heather's new XOXO set. I just love the brushstroke style of these and I could hardly wait to try out this ombre technique with them.

I die-cut the "love" words and hearts from white cardstock. Then used sponges to add color to the bottom half of each cut, using a rainbow of colors.

I love the subtle texture crated by layering and overlapping the various elements.

Using many of the same colors, I used these over-sized conversation hearts, also in XOXO, to make my own festive background paper. I just love all the colors, totally makes me smile!

I die-cut the "be mine" sentiment three times from white and layered them on top of one another for dimension. I love the simplicity of this and will definitely be making more!

I love everything about love! What you did with Garden Guild and Enclosed: Heart — fantastic. Heather’s new set is wonderful and I really like the idea of sponging on the ombre. The conversation hearts? Yay!! So much fun!!

I can’t wait to add Lovely Lady to my ink collection! So pretty!!!! I am also SO excited for XOXO- I have been waiting for conversation hearts and that brushed script for Valentine’s Day is to die for!!!!!

OMG! I love all these heartfelt creations! My fav is the garden guilded heart. So pretty! I think my collection is lacking some hearts so I think some of these products should find a good home with me! Thanks for the opportunity to win!

Nicole, your use of the Enclosed: Heart die with a cover up is genius. I will definitely be trying this technique soon. Love all the hearts and love themed items in today’s release and that new color is beautiful.

Hard to know what to start with when commenting on all this gorgeousness.
Love the rainbow love card and the wedding card is so divine!
The new ink color is like WOW along with the papers.
Can even more fun stuff be coming in the days ahead?
These sure are all a favorite.

I love the new release. I’m a little confused however about entering the drawing for the gift certificate. Are they drawn from these comments regarding the sneak peek or do you have to sign up on a separate list?

First, I love NICHOLE’s card. It is beautiful. Very, very stunning. The new line of pink is also gorgeous. I’m excited to see more from this release. And finally, the wet paint valentine words must go in my growing collection of wet paint fonts!

OH…MY…GOODNESS…Look at that GORGEOUS new color – Lovely Lady Pink!!! I just can’t get over how beautiful it is! I’m also MADLY in love with the conversation hearts! I can’t wait for the 15th! Happy Holidays to all! A huge thank you to the amazing ladies of PTI for all of the joy you bring us throughout the year!

I love the wedding card with the new Enclosed heart dies — great idea with the background. I see a shaker card with the die. The conversation heart are fun and so versatile! But what really piqued my interested with Maile’s Fresh Floral Wrap-ups!

I think the ombre heart and love is so beautiful and the combination of the heart die and the garden gild plate is amazing, so if a hurry up and finish my Christmas cards I can start planning Valentines!!!!….This is the world of crafters.

Aw… So beautiful ! I love the Wedding Day card. It makes me Wanna own the heart die and garden gild die. The Lovely Lady ink is so pretty!!! I really wish to win this! Thanks for the chance of winning!

I soooooo hope the Garden Gild plate and dies will be available soon …. I’ve had my eye on them for a while now, and seeing the plate featured today has given me renewed hope!
